The heartwarming tale of the inconsolable mother cat who lost her own kittens but adopted three other orphaned kittens

An inconsolable mother cat who lost her kittens received three more thanks to a Texas cat-rescue organization. 

Eight-month old Mikey was stricken with grief when her three, newborn kittens died one-by-one as a result of being born too early. 

Mikey's owner, Hillary, watching her cat suffer, was desperate for help, so she enlisted the help of 'Dori's Darlings,' a Houston cat-rescue organization, the Huffington Post reports.

While Mikey was suffering the loss of her kittens, Amanda Lowe, a foster mother with Dori's Darlings, was receiving three, newborn kittens to care for. 

The kittens were just days old -- their umbilical cords still attached --, and Lowe provided around-the-clock care for them.

Lowe, through the organization, heard about Hillary losing her brood of kittens and immediately reached out to the woman offering to unite the orphaned kittens with the grieving Mikey.

'This was just an awful thing she went through (losing all of her babies) and this will be healing for her,' Lowe said.
